Wu Jin was startled, jumped up, and ran out of the cabin, and Chen Ying also ran out with him.

"What anomaly?"

"Three ships surround us!"

The wind on the sea was stronger, but it was blowing from the west, the wind was strong, the sails had turned obliquely, and the west wind was blowing, and the big ship was violently up and down on the rough sea, heading east at full speed, long out of course, at this time the route was no longer important, and getting rid of the pursuit was the key.

People who are not accustomed to boating cannot stand at all at this time, surrounded by darkness, dark sky, dark sea, and the big ship seems to be moving in an endless black hole.

But what is even more depressing is that the sea has begun to fog, the wind is gradually decreasing, a layer of gray-black fog begins to cover the sea, the fog is thick, even the wind can not blow away the dense fog, the other party is very good at choosing the time, just start when the fog rises.

On the aft deck of the ship, more than a dozen big men had gathered, all of them were holding crossbow arrows, staring nervously at the rear, and others were also running from all over the cabin, Wu Jin walked up quickly with an ironwood box crossbow in his hand, and the big men got out of the way.

"Childe, do you see it?" A big man pointed not far away, "There is a ship over there, about a hundred steps away from us." ”

Wu Jin saw it, in a layer of mist, a black shadow ship appeared and disappeared from time to time, indeed only a hundred steps apart, and was chasing them with all his strength, and the danger really came.

"Aren't there three ships? What about the other two? Wu Jin didn't find the other two, and asked strangely.

"One is a little farther away, but another one can't be found, and I saw it just now, it's very close to us."

Wu Jin turned his head and looked around, the fog on the sea rose quickly, just now he could see the black sea, and now the sea is no longer visible, all around are gray mist, there seems to be a mysterious beast hiding in the mist, like a pair of vicious eyes hiding behind the mist, staring at them, all around is full of dangerous atmosphere, an ominous premonition hit his heart strongly, he shouted to everyone: "Everyone pay attention to the vigilance.....

Before they could finish speaking, they saw a huge shadow of a ship, like a ghost ship suddenly appearing from the thick fog, appeared on their starboard side, brushing their big ship, and the nearest part of the two big ships was only less than a foot apart.

"Ahh With a scream, one of the men closest to starboard fell heavily on the deck, with a crossbow bolt stuck in his chest.

Then there was another scream, but the arrow was shot by Wu Jin, and a black shadow fell from the side of the ship and fell heavily on the deck, the first enemy to jump from the opposite ship.

The pirates of the Phoenix Society have a lot of experience, all of them crouched, raised their bows and crossbows and shot towards the dense black shadows of the large ship opposite, a series of screams, five or six people were shot into the sea, but two of them jumped on their deck.

At this critical moment, Chen Ying rolled forward, her figure was as fast as flying, like a black swallow skimming over the water, she jumped up from the deck, her left and right hands stabbed out, two sharp water spurs pierced each other's hearts at the same time, she coldly pulled out the bloody water spurs, and the two corpses fell softly on the deck.

But Chen Ying didn't stop, the corner of her eyes swept away, and saw a long gangway stretched out, there was a sharp iron hook under the gunwale, once hooked, the two ships were difficult to separate, just between the rabbit and the eagle who assassinated the enemy, her soft body jumped up in a difficult posture, and kicked the gangway that had just approached the side of the ship and had not had time to hang it down into the sea.

The phoenix's fierce counterattack caused the follow-up enemy on the opposite side to pause for a moment, and at this moment of stagnation, a small mountain-like wave pushed in, causing the distance between the two ships to swing another three feet.

The two dozen pirates of the Phoenix Society seized this opportunity, rolled to the starboard side, pressed their bodies against the side of the ship, and raised their crossbows to shoot at each other, while the arrows from the opposite side also fired like locusts, whizzing over their heads.

Wu Jin was a little inexperienced, he was the last to roll to the back of the ship, but his crossbow arrows were the most powerful, and in the blink of an eye, he had already shot four arrows in one go, hitting the black shadows on the two masts, and the two black shadows screamed and fell heavily from the masts.

At this time, the others had just shot an arrow, and several pirates around him were staring at him in amazement, the incredible winding speed.

The passive situation was reversed in an instant, from a surprise attack to a confrontation between two ships, two ships facing each other in the fog, both firing crossbow arrows.

Yu Hailan's figure also appeared, she was wearing a long white dress, her posture was light and agile, carrying a medicine box in one hand, and she was quickly treating the wounds of the three brothers who were wounded by arrows, cutting arrows, disinfecting, stopping bleeding, and bandaging, and her movements were very skillful.

At this moment, Wu Jin recognized the big ship opposite, which turned out to be the three cargo ships of the Donglai Trading House that he saw at dusk today, and it turned out that they had been tracking him all along.

"Wu Jin!"

Chen Ying rolled in front of Wu Jin and whispered to him, "I have just examined two corpses, they are pirates of the White Sands Society. ”

"Pirates of the White Sands?" Wu Jin frowned, "How would they know that we have silver on our ship?" ”

Chen Ying shook her head, "This is not a temporary robbery, there has always been only one merchant ship in the Baisha Society, and they dispatched three ships, obviously targeting us, and someone leaked our secrets to them." ”

"It's definitely not a leak!"

Wu Jin sneered, "They are the interceptors arranged by Uncle Shen Guo, they have been eyeing us since Liandao Port, and they have not done it until now, obviously to make us think that it is the hand of King Qi, I said why is it so quiet all the way." ”

"But we have too few people, and reinforcements from the Phoenix Society have not yet arrived, and if the other two ships surround us, it will be troublesome."

Both of them were silent, their bodies swaying slightly with the ups and downs of the big ship, and in the darkness, the two big ships were still moving at a fast speed, cleaving the waves one after the other.

The dense fog is getting thicker and thicker, the surrounding sea is white, this area is the sea off Laizhou, there are many islands, the reefs are dense, it is extremely dangerous to sail in the fog, but at this moment it is no longer taken care of, the big ship has long been out of course, sailing quickly to the unknown east.

An hour passed gradually, the fighting had subsided slightly, the danger was still trailing, the enemy ship on the starboard side had been thrown away by more than twenty feet, but the other two ships had caught up, appearing and disappearing in the thick fog, and their finished shapes surrounded the big ship, like three cheetahs, tacitly cooperating, driving the prey into their slaughterhouse step by step.

A crew member ran over and reported to Wu Jin: "Childe, the general direction has been determined." ”

Wu Jin Daxi hurriedly asked, "Where are we now?" ”

"We are about 200 miles east of Laizhou, we have just sailed past Little Pine Island, we have deviated from the course for 150 miles, and more than 30 miles ahead is Crab Foot Island."

This is Wei Ming was also helped out of the cabin by a crew member, his seasickness was very serious, his face was pale, and his body looked very weak.

"No Jin..... Can I stop at Crab Leg Island? ”

Without waiting for Wujin to answer, Chen Ying said coldly on the side: "There is only one end to the shore, being slaughtered, if you don't want to be slaughtered, you can jump into the sea now." ”

"Auntie!" Wu Jin stopped her sharply, "How are you talking?" ”

Chen Ying bit her lip tightly, her head turned over, Wu Jin softened her tone, and explained to Wei Ming: "Big brother, we are surrounded now, and the reason why the other party no longer attacks is to force us to Crab Foot Island, once they succeed, none of us will be able to survive." ”

"So what do we do? There are still more than 30 miles ahead of Crab Foot Island."

Wei Ming looked at his brother worriedly, he was just a literati, and he was at sea, his mind was already in a mess, he knew that there would be danger on the road, Uncle Shen Guo would send some killers with high martial arts skills to intercept it, but he didn't expect it to be serious to this extent, Uncle Shen Guo actually used pirates, at this time his heart was worried and afraid.

Wu Jin's expression was very calm, although he didn't have a good idea for a while, everyone was looking at him, if he messed up first, then they would be defeated.

"Now we only have one way, and that's how to spend it with them, try to avoid Crab Foot Island, delay time, and wait for the Phoenix to come to the rescue."

Wei Ming wanted to say something more, but Yu Hailan came up and said, "Prince Huangfu, it's useless to worry now, you go back to the cabin first!" ”

Wei Ming glanced at her deeply, then nodded silently, and helped the seafarer to slowly return to the cabin, until his back disappeared, Chen Ying scolded in a low voice, "It's useless to be a scholar!" ”

Wu Jin glared at her angrily, Chen Ying lowered her head and didn't dare to speak again, but then Yu Hailan came over and said, "Wu Jin, we can't go east again." ”

"Why?" Wu Jin was stunned.

"Because fifty miles to the east is Baisha Island, where the Baisha Society is the lair, and I suspect that there will be enemy ships waiting to intercept us ahead."

At this time, everyone's eyes were on Wu Jin, everyone's eyes were full of worry, Wu Jin turned to the side of the ship, leaned over and looked at the rough sea, the dark sea contained unknown dangers, in this harsh environment to go into the water, it was difficult to have any hope of survival, he looked at the three big ships that surrounded them in the shape of 'Pin' behind him, in the fog, he could occasionally see the outline of the big ship emerge, he was visually measuring the distance, and estimated that the three ships were about two or three hundred steps away from them.

Chen Ying suddenly understood Wu Jin's intentions, and asked in surprise: "Wu Jin, you.... Do you want to? ”

Wu Jin nodded slowly, "I think, always have to give it a try!" ”

"Good! I'll go with you. ”

In the dark night, Chen Ying's eyes were unusually bright, her eyes were only half a foot away from Wu Jin's face, and she was staring at him hotly, with a hint of wild surname in her eyes, "Wu Jin, do you want us to have a game." ”

"What's the comparison?" Wu Jin felt the challenge of her gaze.

"How about one of us in charge of one ship, let's see who gets it first?"

Wu Jin stared into her gaze, and he not only felt the challenge in her gaze, but also felt a firmness, a determination to follow him to his death.

Wu Jin felt a little moved in his heart, he nodded, and diluted the almost tragic atmosphere between them in a joking tone, "Did you bring any good weapons?" ”

Chen Ying nodded, turned around and beckoned, "Yang Er, bring the guy!" ”
